Awesome John!! I think you tend to draw women with more meat and a little more realistic in their midsection and hips. While Katie uses that sphere for the construction of the hips and a super skinny waist. Your collaborations look great.

I know you have some assholes that leave stupid comments here, but the comment author approval thing is taking away what is so fun about your blog. I come back and forth for its spontanious comments and I love the fact that you have such a huge and loyal following. Its probably just best not to respond to these stupid comments. Dont fuel the fire. Just banning anonymous comments would take care of this problem right? Do you have to approve everything? Well, Ill be back no matter what John. Its your blog afterall.. Keep up the good work.. Ryan

Are all these going to be in that Tenaciuos D project too? Either way, I can't wait to see it.

Yeah, Katie's work just smack's you in the face and leaves you saying "Geez, where did this greatness come from??!!" "What divine spirit controlling this universe brought this wonderful image to the surface for us??!!" I especially felt like that upon seeing the picture of that one girl sitting atop that other girl.

Damn you John and you making us get a blog, took me freakin ages to work out how to post pictures, I was always an 'Other'.Though this could be a good thing (to get a blog) I really don't want to damn ya, there's a hell of a lot of great artists on the blogger.Can't wait to see the 'D' animated! Any chance of visiting Ozagain?

Those are friggin' great! At first I thought Katie's style was similar to your's from how the lines flow naturally. Katie's lines are real elegant and long and your's is more rigid and strong, but you both have that natural feel involved in the lines. And they're real complex too, very very natural. I also like how you varied shapes in each animal.

These drawings have really good cartoon vibes all around. You're too damn good John!

John, have you seen Mind Game yet? I just did last nite... I highly recommend it!

So amazing and contains everything you listed in your insightful 'what is a cartoon' post, and more! I don't say this to start a 'debate' about anime etc, I just think you'd enjoy it. It's pretty amazing.

Is anybody else today having a problem accessing this blog from the main page? The individual pages of each post are all available, but during the last four hours I get only blank page when I try to go directly to http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/It looks like the main index page is corrupted, or something similar happened.John, if the other people also complained about this, can you please try the option "republish index" in Blogger? I had the identical problem last month, and it fixed blog back into the normal state.

I'm not sure where else to post this, so I'll do it up here. I'm an animation student in Vancouver and someone brought in R & S on DVD.I just watched Man's Best Friend and...Holy shit! It is easily one of the funniest cartoons I have ever seen! When Stimpy takes the doggy treat after being screamed at by George Liquor to get off the couch, I almost pissed my pants! The drawings themselves are some of the funniest I've seen.

It ranks as one of the best cartoons of all times. Insanely funny and over the top; ain't nuffin better!(But jes so you don't think I'm some Spumco-phile sychophant, there were also a couple of stinkers!)

If the Tenacious D stuff you're workin on is even one tenth as funny, we're in for a treat! Keep it up!

John, I'm participating in the Friz Freleng blogathon going on tomorrow. I made my post early right here.

I linkedtoit here because it involves you slightly. Just scroll down to see the little picture. (Hee hee! I think I'm funny)

You always provide a specific analysis whenever you caricature a celebrity. In drawing you, I noticed that your head is kind of an upside-down rounded pyramid. That's what I see anyway. If not, it would be great if you could provide the right analysis of your head's shape so that people can caricature you more accurately.

That groundhog (or whatever rodent it may be) has some chewed-up looking arms.

Your designs are very reminisent of Big House Blues, which is what I've been hoping for.

I'm wondering what you think of episodes that you're revered for, like (my favorite) Big House Blues, Space Madness, Stimpy's Invention, ect. You criticise even your own work saying you "see the mistakes". Space Madness is riddled with crude drawings, but Big House Blues and Stimpy's Invention are nearly perfect in my opinion. What are the mistakes in those episodes?

I'd like to see a post about the evolution of your own characters (mainly Ren and Stimpy), how they've changed, and who inspiried what changes. You're definetly not the only genius behind the show. I'm thinking that the most influencial artists behind the progress of the show are Bob Camp, Vincent Waller, and Jim Smith. Any Ren and Stimpy show fan owes them a huge debt, but what do you think? Some of we rabid fans may shit ourselves from the insight.

For the record, I think Ren Seeks Help and Altruists are even better than the original run, but these episodes would be nothing without the breakthroughs made by the earlier run. I must even credit Billy West. The show would not be nearly as good as it was, or is now, without him.

The eye in the "I.O.U" on the groundhog's chest...I wonder if that's a symbol for the ever-present eye of the government omaybe the UN?! They never stop watching, they're watching me right now. They're watching you too! I can taste them!!

Yes, my cartoons are all about who makes them. Every cartoon is a different feel and style depending on the artists that worked on it.

I don't know of any other studio that even allows that.

You can see the work of those same artists in other shows and you would never know it was them.

I am a big fan of individual artists' styles and I encourage the artists to do what they do naturally. Many artists are so unused to that that they can't express themselves when they actually allowed to.

Doug was a fist of jolly roger beard [with fleas, but without the pirate], but fun for the retro-adorer. Billy is, however, also a master in Futurama. Richard Steven Horvitz is also an underused actor currently doing 'Squirell Boy' [to be fair, only seen a small part, but said part was a bit difficult to tolerate], but in Zim and Beavers, mwah, the master. Actually I think Billy West even lit up Doug. Him and Richard Steven Horvitz are magic like that. Phil LaMaar also needs more great parts besides random bland fronts. Futurama he's spectacular, and the best Justice Leaguer [Green Lantern] in the bunch. And Maurice LaMarche, from Keef to an fruit adoring Toucan, just glorious.
